The Ion Age - IMP35 Cybernetic Retained Knight free miniature for July 2016!

It is the nature of war that injury and death occur while on campaign and while an honourable retirement is offered to every man or woman harmed defending the Precinct some do not choose to leave the oath they took to the Code Gallant. Those, often badly injured, who make the choice to return to their regiment are offered the means to do so in their treatment. While 'Rederm' can repair the skin and flesh leaving in most cases no sign that injury ever occurred this is not the case for lost limbs or the most serious of injuries. Cybernetic limbs and casings which once fitted and slaved to the nervous system give a performance equal to or exceeding natural limbs are given instead. There are different styles available from indistinguishable from natural to purely mechanical. Those who see regular active campaigning often opt for the mechanical due to its superior durability and de marking a true veteran.

June was a massive month at The Ion Age with the release of Callsign Taranis the expansion of Patrol Angis our 15mm wargame rules system. July is now here and this month we have a man who was badly injured in the service of Prydia but returned to the front line as well as some big lads as walking re-enforcements for your collection in the form of an Early Supporter Offer too. More on that soon. Allow me to present to you IMP35 Cybernetic Retained Knight. It is July 2016's free 15mm miniature of the month all month. This miniature is automatically put into every order at the rate of one per order regardless of order value. It can also be bought in any amount on the monthly IMP page of the website for this month only too before being withdrawn on the first of next month. It will be one of the twelve in the 'Year Three Collection' next month.

Wearing specially modified Alwite powered armour this character has returned to his duty as a knight despite having one of his legs, one of his arms and half of his head replaced with cybernetic parts. Holding a Carnwennan mini-mine pistol he would make a fine officer or notable character in your Prydian Army, Marcher Baron or Condot forces. This miniature is in one piece and stands approx 17mm tall. We realise that some of you may wish to purchase the currently free miniature to get multiples of it without placing a lot of orders so you can do just that. Go HERE. There is a growing page on the Ion Age website where the current and all former IMP series free miniatures are shown so that you can see what came before. Enjoy looking at them and go HERE.
